Buffer is not transferable in Node 21/22

Version

v21.7.3, v22.11.0

Platform

Linux nweiz1 6.9.10-1rodete5-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.9.10-1rodete5 (2024-09-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Subsystem

worker_threads

What steps will reproduce the bug?

import {MessageChannel, Worker} from 'worker_threads';

const channel = new MessageChannel();
const buffer = Buffer.from('some text');
channel.port1.postMessage(buffer, [buffer.buffer]);
channel.port2.on('message', (e) => {
  console.log(Buffer.from(e).toString());
  channel.port1.close();
  channel.port2.close();
});

This worked in v20 and fails in v21 and v22.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

It always reproduces.

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

The buffer should be transferred through the message channel.

What do you see instead?

Additional information

I didn't see anything in the v21 or v22 changelogs about buffers becoming untransferable, and transferring it worked in v20, so I'm assuming this is unintentional. If it's intentional, I would have expected at least a deprecation message indicating that this was going to start breaking.

首先，在列出的 Node 版本上运行提供的 worker_threads MessageChannel 复现，并比较传输行为。跟踪 worker_threads 子系统中从 postMessage 开始的 Buffer 传输路径；当复现能够成功传输 Buffer，并且针对所报告行为具有回归覆盖时，即表示完成。
